Family, Pedicures, Angry Birds, and Harry Potter

I took a vacation to visit my family in Idaho. It's sad that to go on vacation I go to Idaho and everyone else goes to Hawaii. I started out my time in Idaho by going to our annual Weaver reunion. It was nice to see family I haven't seen in a while and it was great to roast some marshmallows. I have missed camping. I was able to spend lot of time with my family. My niece Kaitlyn is adorable.

My sister came into town for a few days. It was great to be surrounded by all my family. I can't remember the last time I got to hang out with just the girls without any little ones with us. It was great to be together. Thanks to my brother in-law we all went and got pedicures. I don't think I have had such girly toe nails in my entire life, but it was fun.

My brother got us hooked to the game Angry Birds. When ever I am around he either has my itouch or phone playing. He has us playing on our own time too. While shopping I ran across these shirts and we couldn't pass them up.

To finish off my trip we had a picnic in the park. I remember when I was little my brothers would always play Mario Brothers on the old school Nintendo. They would let me play once in a while. This should explain the shirt that my brother, Ben, and I are wearing.

After the park I went to get in line to see Harry Potter with my mom and sister in-law Deanna. My dad came and joined us later. I am an avid fan of Harry Potter. If you ask the people close to me what makes my happy they would probably say Harry Potter, Christmas, Superman, and Family History. I can't tell you how many times I have read the books. I feel like I grew up with the books. I can still remember picking up the first Harry Potter book when I was in sixth grade. It is sad to have the movies come to an end but I am grateful to have been able to go to the last midnight showing. The audience we were with was great. They were having fun and made the atmosphere that much better. They were even acting out parts of the book as they were dressed up as the various characters. And to top things off we got a great rendition of Harry Potter Puppet Pals.
